Speaking on the latest edition ofFootball Insider’s Inside Track podcast, senior correspondent Pete O’Rourke revealed that a move for the goalkeeper is determined by whether or not Aaron Ramsdale remains at the Emirates Stadium.
Ramsdale slipped down the pecking order last season as Mikel Arteta preferred David Raya as his number one.
Should Ramsdale depart in the final days of the transfer window, Arsenal will have a deal lined up ready for Garcia to come in.
